And thanks to BMW and Mercedes (M5,M6, CLS63, CL65) my car is going in very soon for a remote bottle opener. Even though I would beat them N/A can't take my chances

All of your samples about how fast a STOCK E55 refer to timeslips and friends with MODIFIED E55 cars...so we're talking about 2 different animals and that's not the subject of this thread.
And...I only referred to auto mags b/c you keep referring to internet drag times. We both know that neither source is 100% accurate, dependable or real-world reproducable.

I am not sure what a a mag'd CTS-V runs, but I wanted to give you guys a reference point. I think the CTS-V is a hell of a car. Enjoy it.

Damn they are damn near dead even, and not too far away from what my car runs with traction issues. Those #'s for the E55 are some of the fastest I have seen, how do you launch TC on or TC off? My brother has an 03 CL600 and that car feels like a low 12 high 11 second car if it can hook up!
